Loan Watch 2023/2024

[Deutsch Wolf]

Superb goal by Hoever. Sign him up Stoke!

 

[Tony Towner]

Good hit by Hoever with his swinger

Mosquera playing well this evening against Atleti. Right back.

 

[Mel Evo]

Despite the defeat (Atleti win away?!) Mosquera did play well in a rejigged back 4, a system that was probably a mistake with hindsight. He is starting to get notable reviews in the Spanish press. AS describe him as ‘a wonder’ today, but he also got picked out in various channels. Looks good for either a return or a sale.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The way we were talking in January, this is his final loan before we give him a go ourselves.

Dawson is 34 next month, we know that we're probably getting at best one more year out of him, so the opening will be there for him.

 

[Mel Evo]

He enjoyed getting forward down the right last night. My scouting only extends to ‘he hits a nice hard pass (not into the stands either)’.

 

[AndyWolves]

He's one of the few loanees, that if we didn't own them, id be quite happy if we bought them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We used to bloody LOVE putting centre halves at right back.

Bellamy
Bennett
Blades
Richards (when he was on loan)
Atkins
Clyde
Edwards
Collins
Stearman
Zubar (we did sign the Pissed Horse as a CH)
Iorfa
Coady

Not something I'm that keen to revisit...

 

[sycophantia]

If he's comfortable at RB, that would be very useful for us as back up to Semedo and obviously right side CB.
Not seen any of his games but also not heard any bad reports apart from that one game against PSG?

 

[Del Woppio]

He's one of the few loanees, that if we didn't own them, id be quite happy if we bought them.

I was thinking that yesterday when running through Sedge's update. It's not exactly chock full of exciting young talent and a clear succession plan

That'll apply to most mid-table PL clubs I'd have thought. The majority of players out on loan are there because they aren't good enough.

Just to pick an example West Ham have these out on loan. Two expensive misfit signings in Kehrer and Benrahma, Downes who might yet make it and the rest are nowhere near.

To build on DWs point, to be a PL player a player has to be exceptional and trying to ID such players at a young age is very difficult, especially when we're competing with so many other clubs.

Provided we occasionally get a player going into the first team (on merit!) and we make a profit / generate income on the ones that don't I'd say were doing ok.

We seem to be getting some of our youngsters poached which suggests we're doing ok in ID'ing the top talent, and also poaching a bit ourselves.

I think players like Cundle, Campbell, Lonwijk etc will have professional careers, probably around champ / league one so hopefully we'll get a bit of bunce for them.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We got £8m or so for Giles, Sanderson and Sarkic, that kind of passive income is handy, none of them were ever close to being good enough for Wolves.

 

[Del Woppio]

I do need to occasionally remind myself that real life and FM24 are not the same thing

Just watched the highlights and while not directly to blame he definitely could've done better with both goals.

The second is a proper Max Kilman effort. Just kind of happens around him while he stands still.

FFS, you just ruined Mosquera for @Deutsch Wolf

Second was a slick move in fairness, with some confusion between the centre backs leaving him a little in no-man’s land. Don’t disagree that he could have gone full Coady at it, but it might have been more for effect than anything else.

Listen Del, if I don't listen to my missus telling me this then you have no chance. So cut it out as I don't need the distractions as we enter a crucial part of my 26/27 Non league database save...

 

[Alan]

Just a reminder that Yerson played left of a three with license to drive forward in Cincy. Seems he’s got quality all over the back line. Very encouraging.

Easter Monday/Mid-week update

Hoever played the full game and scored a great equaliser in a 1-1 draw at home to Huddersfield. Also had an effort well saved near the end. Goal around the 5-min mark:

Mosquera played the full game and Guedes 71 minutes of a 2-1 defeat at home to Atletico Madrid.

Daniel Podence scored in a 3-0 play-off win vs Aris but, as always, ridiculously difficult to find Greek highlights online.

Bendeguz Bolla played the full game of a 2-1 home defeat. Was in on goal but was stopped by a last-ditch challenge.

Joe Hodge started at Swansea in a 1-0 win but was subbed at half time.

Chem Campbell played 65 minutes in a goalless draw at Blackpool.

Owen Farmer played 57 minutes of a 1-0 win vs Boston.

Unused subs: Cundle, Moulden

Not in squad: Lonwijk, Hesketh, Young, Birtwistle, McLeod, Hubner
